Overall, the best times to visit Mauritius are September to November and April and May, firstly because of the lower footfall outside the July to August and Christmas peak seasons; secondly because of the calm climate and perfect temperatures. Warm sun and blue skies are a feature of the Mauritian climate all year round, but there are variations within this. October to April is summer, and the best time to visit Mauritius if you want tropical heat, though this brings with it humidity and some rainfall. The cooler 'winter' season runs from May to September, and temperatures can drop to around 20 degrees, though skies tend to be clearer than in the summer. Pack a jacket for evenings if you visit during the winter months. From June to August parts of the island become breezy as the trade winds blow, particularly in the south and east.
